Customer reviews of Equinoxe
|
Customer Rating: 
Summary: plus III
Comment: I purchased this at the same time as Les Chants Magnetiques (Magnetic Fields) and Oxygene. I know the album Magnetic Fields because I owned it back in the seventies. This is every bit as good as the other two. I like them all.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I almost think I like it even better than Oxygene.
Comment: The title pretty much says it all. After listening to some audio clips of Equinoxe I decided I wanted to add it to my CD collection along with Oxygene. So far it's been the best $21.96 I've ever spent. Each of these two CD's has its own theme. Whereas I often think of Oxygene as a journey from an old world in search of a new one, I think of Equinoxe as telling the story of life on the new world. From the grand, I would even say triumphant opening of Equinoxe part 1 to the end, this album will take you places barely even imagined. My personal favorite is Equinoxe part 3, which puts me in mind of early spring and the urgency of flowers just waiting to bloom. It's the sort of music that will definitely shape your dreams if you fall asleep while listening to it. I had such an experience while listening to Oxygene and Equinoxe shows promise of being even better. True I have a track or two that I like less than the others but none that I actually dislike. Every track on this album gets equal listening. It sounds best either on a diskman with a good set of headphones or, in my case, on my sixty-disk stereo at home. Jarre did another excellent job on this album, which features a much more rhythmic element than Oxygene. Quite apart from the almost waltzy rhythm of Equinoxe 3, other tracks have a more upbeat rhythm. They're all fitting to the album's theme, however. As another reviewer commented, Oxygene was the tune of air, but Equinoxe is the tune of water. My recommendation is simple. If you haven't yet heard either Oxygene or Equinoxe, you might just do yourself a favor by giving them both a good listen. As I said in my review of Oxygene, I'm no fan of electronica, but Jean Michel Jarre's earlier works are definitely an exception to that rule. Next on my list of albums to own? Les Chants Magnetiques Magnetic Fields and Chronologie.

Summary: Equinoxe Rocks!
Comment: The first time I heard this album was on vinyl back in 1980. This rerelease of the CD is an excellent remaster and worth every penny. Equinoxe is the perfect compliment to Jean Michel Jarre's earlier album, Oxygene.Oxygene
Customer Rating:
Summary: space music?
Comment: whilst any link to electronica is associateded to "spacey" i feel equinoxe is one of jean michels most organic productions.almost on an orchestral level with his father maurice.who for the uninititiated was the composer for 'LAWREENCE OF ARABIA" and more movies.this albun takes on a "greenie" approach to nature long before the term became PC.As we listen to the magnicifent dawm to the undulating summer morn,through to the build up of the thunderstorm crescendo;we are led through to the sreenity of the summer sunset;more akin to ravels bolero,than kraftwerk or tangerine dream.The cover artwork reminds us we are observers of nature as well as its subjects.In this age of concern over climate change ,i dont think we can overlook the gravitas of the oxygene cover art,or just how far ahead of the game this man was musically,or conciously.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A classic
Comment: If you like Jarre, this should be in your collection. A classic. His later work never bested his first 3 albums: Oxygene, Equinoxe and Les Chants Magnetiques.
